willytounsi commented 3 years ago

*TASKS TO BE DONE*** Software used in rocket launch monitoring

****WORK DONE SO FAR*****

  1. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench)
    • Visual programming language
    • System-design platform and development environment that was aimed at enabling all forms of system to be developed.
    • Permits the development of monitoring and control interface with a wide range of sensors and actuators, and microcontrollers, in a short period of time due to its intuitive graphical programming style.
    • Easy to adapt interface features giving flexibility with the information we will need to display
    • Use by quite a number of rockets launching organizations such as SpaceX and NASA as well as other universities undertaking rocket projects 1.1 Key Features:  LabVIEW environment: Consists of:
    • LabVIEW VI manager (project explorer),
    • The programming tools,
    • Debugging features,
    • Templates and ready built sample examples,
    • An easy interface to hardware drivers.  LabVIEW VIs: (“Virtual Instrument”)
    • Enables a user interface to be built and it contains the programming code.
       LabVIEW G programming:
    • This is the graphical programming language where the functional algorithms are built using “drag and drop” techniques.  LabVIEW dataflow : Core concept that determines the running order for the program

1.2 Advantages of LabVIEW • The graphical interface is flexible and simple to use.
• LabVIEW provides a universal platform for numerous applications in diverse fields. • LabVIEW can be used with 3rd party hardware: it can be interfaced with C/C++, VB, Fortran etc etc. • Easy to interface to many hardware items like data acquisition and test equipment products. 1.3 Availability

  1. Processing
    • Open-source
    • Graphic library and integrated development environment (IDE)
    • Use for visual design communities
    • Uses java language of programming

This research is still ongoing and upon completion, I will recommend the software to be used for our ground station.

@willytounsi and @Mike-Kimani I this is N2 task. Since that is when we will be having telemetry
